Alarms¶

The Alarms module provides real-time alarm monitoring across the WideQuick MOD installation. Alarms are defined in WideQuick Designer® using alarm groups, each with configurable triggers, alarm classes (severities), and acknowledgement rules. At runtime, active alarms appear across a set of dedicated views and optionally trigger email or SMS notifications.
